20 + Ideas for outdoor play

So many amazing ideas linked up to at Tuesday Tots last week that it was hard to choose what to feature but with our play turning from inside to outdoor as the weather warms up and the days get longer I’ve chosen over 20 ideas for Outdoor Play to encourage you to get out and play this summer as well.

Summer days spent at home and one of my childhood favourites and soon becoming my kids is to get out the sidewalk chalk Me and Marie Learning shares some Da Vinci Driveway art perfect for your budding artists to do this summer, if the temperature is rising then this recipe for Ice Sidewalk Chalk is perfect for keeping cool from Reading Confetti and while you are at it pop by and look at this fun chalk shadow for kids to do and decorate themselves. And Next comes L gets musical with their sidewalk chalk fun creating a giant keyboard to play on.

Enjoying your own garden is half the fun of summer and getting outdoors to play – whether you are gardening using recycled containers like those from Inspiration Laboratories or using the junk box items to create a game of Water Bottle skittles from Poppet and Little, if like us you have many umm “flowers” in your lawn then why not put them to use creating a Daisy Crown from Nature and Play or a Dandelion Crown from Fireflies and Mudpies. Part of the fun of summer for kids is bringing their indoor play outside and this idea from My Nearest and Dearest of creating a forest small world play is a great starting point.
